Folk artist Lester Picasso: a self-portrait!

Although he looks a little out of sorts in this painting, my good friend Lester Picasso sent me a self-portrait to use on my blob. (Is that what you call this, Millicent?) He calls me his patron saint and I do feel a bit responsible for his current success. Garcia, my driver and gardener, objects to sharing the apartment over the garage with a folk artist, and my maid, Millicent, objects to the extra seating at the breakfast table, but someday they'll be glad they invested in a painting. They haven't yet, but I keep advising them to do so. It takes patience as they are not sophisticated connoisseurs of the visual arts as am I.

Painting of my lovely estate, Moletunnel!


My good friend, folk artist Lester Picasso, has rendered my lovely Buckhead estate, Moletunnel, in oil! I'm not sure why he chose the bowling motif although I understand he is quite good at the sport.

I don't usually frequent such places as bowling alleys and pool halls, but he has invited me to a party at Lucky Strike Lanes so I suppose I will have to attend, but only if Garcia can drive me. (Perhaps if he is unavailable, that will be a convincing excuse to decline.)
